get in on the action

Question

From Chart Attack, "While many of the bands who get video contracts fall into the nu metal category, it only makes sense that some electronic artists get in on the action. Montreal resident/Ninja Tune recording artist Amon Tobin has just hooked up with Ubisoft for the soundtrack to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory game, which will be available for PC and Xbox before the holidays. Tobin's music for the game is reportedly both 'playful' and 'menacing.'"

what does the sentanse within the quotation marks mean? What does "get in on the action" mean? get involved and do something different?

Thank you.
